Exploring Mixins in Dart — Flutter

## Exploring Mixins in Dart — Flutter

#### Section 1: Understanding Mixins versus Inheritance

- **Definition of Mixins:** Mixins in Dart allow classes to inherit behaviors and properties from multiple sources without establishing a strict parent-child hierarchy.
- **Has-a Relationship:** Describes an association where one class contains an instance of another class, granting access to its functionalities and properties (Composition).

#### Section 2: Implementing Mixins in Dart and Flutter

- **Using Mixins:** To apply a mixin in a class, the `with` keyword is used followed by the mixin's name.
- **Example:**
  ```dart
  class C with A, B {
    // Class functionality
  }
  ```
- **Conflict Resolution:** In case of conflicting method names from multiple mixins, Dart provides a resolution mechanism.
- **Summary:** Mixins allow classes to inherit methods and properties from various sources without the need for a strict hierarchy.

That's a wrap!
